TIMER COVER.

i Application filed May 11,

To aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN lviAJni/rrsm', a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas Cit in the county of Wyandotte and State of Kansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Timer Covers, of which the following is a specification.

r his invention relates to a device for covering the ignition wires of an automobile where they connect with the timer box, the principal object of the invention being to protect said wires from dirt and grease and also to prevent them from being injured by the fan belt.

Another object of the invention is to pro vide a device which may be easily and timer box without tached parts.

Thls invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illus trated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a plan view of a timer box showing my invention applied thereto.

Figure 2 is a side view of the device itself.

Figure 3 is a View similar to Figure 2 but with the device given a quarter turn.

In. these views 1 indicates the timer box which is provided withthe four terminals 9 and the projection 3 for receiving the op erating rod. I

In carrying out my invention 1 provide a ring member 4- which is of angle shape n cross section. One flange of this member 1S provided with the fouropenings 5 through which the terminals 2 project and an opening 6 through which the ear 3 projects. It is also provided with a key hole shaped opening '7 through which the four ignition wires pass. b

As will be understood the .member is pushed over the top of the box, the upper part of said box extending through the central opening in the ring member; The memher is made of such dimensions as to be held on the box by friction due to its spring na- Specification of Letters Patent.

ture and the square corner formed by the flanges of the member will be located above the cylindrical part of the box where the same joins the part thereof. me a space will be formed at the top of the member to receive the ignition wires as shown in dotted lines in Figure 1, saidwires dirt and. grease and will also prevent the fan belt from coming in contact with said wires. I bend over the material forming the walls of the openings, as shown at 5' so as to prevent the wi "es being cut by this member and also to stiffen the metal at the opening. This device may be installed with itself or the wires.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in t e construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

W hat I claim is 1. In combination with a timer box having a cylindrical and conical part and an actuating ear and the conductors connected therewith, a ring member of angle shape in cross section fitting over the cylindrical part edge engaging the conical part thereof, said member having openings therein for receiving the terminals and their conductors and the actuating rod ear 011 the box and another opening through which the four conductors pass from the ring member, the portions of the conductors in the ring member being located in the space formed by the upper flange of the member and the conical part of the box.

2. In combination with a timer box having terminals and an actuating rod ear thereon, of a ring shaped casing said box and having openings in its periphery for receiving the terminals and the actuating rod ear on said box and said open ings for the terminals having their walls extending outwardly.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature.

JOHN MAJEMPSEY.
